Silence -

I welcome shades of grey — openly

Anachronistic life — unending

Unnecessary strain — compounding

The failing cognition — resounding

I hate what I become

When all I am is this

And the weight collapses me

As the numbness hits

I fail (I fail)

Again

To break the fall

I’m here all alone, wondering how it all will end

Fighting in vain as into the darkness I descend

Waiting for light that I know I’ll never see (Know I’ll never see)

Desperate for silence once again

Asphyxiating will — incarnate

The hope of amnesty — discarded

I hate what I have done

To build the emptiness

Into walls I can’t unmake

And the prison fits

I fail (I fail)

Again

To break the fall

I’m here all alone, wondering how it all will end

Fighting in vain as into the darkness I descend

Waiting for light that I know I’ll never see (Know I’ll never see)

Desperate for silence once again

I’m here all alone, wondering how it all will end

Fighting in vain as into the darkness I descend

Waiting for light that I know I’ll never see (Know I’ll never see)

Desperate for silence (I am)

Desperate for silence (I am)

Desperate for silence once again
